Had my CAGS-defeat installed the day after delivery (Sept).....unit is from LAPD....works fine for me. Many others with same unit on Z06 have no problems. Probably a defective unit.
Regarding driving with the stock skip-shift, it can be downright dangerous in heavy/slow City traffic, especially at left-turns onto a major thoroughfare, with a lineup at the green light to turn left. You can inadvertently end up in fourth gear and have to goose it or get t-boned....not a pleasant feeling in 4th gear, needing immediate acceleration. And, it's hard to rev at 3000 at 2 miles an hour!
If you live on the thruway, then that's all academic, of course.
